Classic Restaurant. So much history. Best steak and oxtail soup I ever had. The server was wonderful and even the woman owner asked us how our meal was. First class restaurant. I highly recommend this gem.

We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, drawn in by the whiskey title in the name. We were ever so pleased we found it, as it was some of the best service and food we have experienced. From the moment we stepped inside it was an amazing welcome and friendly service. Their knowledge of their extensive list of available whiskies is second to none. Would highly recommend to any whiskey lover in Hamburg!

Our hotel is accessible via the Neuen Jungfernstieg and Fehlandstraße, from where you can directly reach our hotel garage at Große Theaterstraße 5. Please find further information here: https://hvj.de/en/contact.html

The Wohnhalle, which is lovingly referred to as Hamburg’s living room, is the heart of Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Its unique 19th century atmosphere makes it an oasis of calm and relaxation. British-style afternoon tea is served, as well as the traditional club sandwich and delicious cakes: scones, clotted cream and sandwiches, as well as a select variety of different types of tea guarantee a very special experience.

Be enchanted by the atmosphere like no other - the crackling fireplace, the melodious sounds of our on-site pianist, and the elegance and coziness of our Wohnhalle. And last but not least the excellent service of our staff, who take care to attend to your every wish.

Cute setting, lovely little private glass cabins. Friendly staff and delicious food, if maybe a little overpriced as you’re paying for the ambience and location. But worth a visit especially for a romantic dinner.

Naya impresses from the outset with its striking brick facade and ample parking conveniently located right in front. Housed in a converted barn, the restaurant blends rustic charm with modern touches with high ceilings, sleek lighting, and a stylish bar at the entrance, followed by a second bar and dining area. While the ceiling lights add to the ambiance, they create quite a glare, which can be a little distracting. The artwork on the walls is interesting and adds character to the space. We had a selection of sushi : The double tuna was well-prepared and enjoyable. The surf and turf with truffle was excellent, a definite highlight. The prawn tempura had a slightly burnt taste, and the batter wasn’t as light or crisp as expected. The salmon with avocado was decent but had a slightly fishy aftertaste. The aubergine dish was disappointing-small in portion and lacking seasoning, making it quite bland. The wine selection was reasonable, though the markups were steeper than usual. Service was efficient but minimal transactional rather than engaging. Overall, Naya offers a stylish setting and some standout dishes, but inconsistency in execution and a somewhat impersonal service keep it from being truly exceptional.

Nowhere else in Hamburg will you be able to drown your everyday routine as pleasantly as in the deep twilight blue close to the Alster - the best time for dinner at HERITAGE. A glass elevator takes you up to the 9th floor and neveals the beauty you can expect up there: panoramic view of the waterfront. For the Dry Aged Steaks, the fire is lighted every evening in the 800° Southbend oven. #heritagehh

About the restaurant

The Skyline Bar 20up has recently become one of Hamburg’s gastronomic hotspots and, with its diverse selection of fresh cocktails, is also a well-known hub of St. Pauli. In addition to its elegant ambience, the bar captivates with its unique view of the Hamburg harbour. The seven meter high panorama windows offer an unrestricted view of the city's most important sights, such as the fish market and the concert hall Elphilharmonie.
However, the drinks are as exclusive as the bar itself. The bar team serves cocktail classics and long drinks as well as changing own creations.

About the restaurant

Mehr Hamburg geht nicht. "Großes Kino auf der Elbe" kann erleben, wer den Weg an den Fähranleger Teufelsbrück findet. Hier, vis-a-vis des Airbus-Werks, liegt das schwimmende Restaurant Engel. Für die Hamburger und ihre Gäste gibt es nichts Schöneres als an oder auf ihrer Elbe zu sein. Man nimmt Platz an fein eingedeckten Tischen im rundum verglasten Restaurant und sitzt in der ersten Reihe, kann den Lotsen beim Wechsel zusehen und die großen Pötte beim Vorbeifahren bestaunen. Zu unserer Küche: "Wir sind keine Revolutionäre, keine jungen Wilden, sondern kochen klassisch-modern, handwerklich fundiert, mit Raum für den besonderen Einfall. Verarbeitet werden ausschließlich frische vorwiegend nachhaltig erzeugte Produkte bester Qualität.“ (Tarik Rose) Wer es etwas rustikaler mag, besucht den Engel Imbiss, der sich im Parterre des Ponton-Restaurants befindet. Und wenn es mal was zu feiern gibt, dann wird der Engel in exponierter Lage auch gerne vermietet.
